Chapter 29: The King Asked Me to Patrol the Mountain
Chapter 29: The King Asked Me to Patrol the Mountain
Lu Zhenqiu thought about it and said, "It seems that the game has erased all the strategies in the book... It is also possible that the ending in the book still has its process, which we as players need to write ourselves..."
Chu Cheng'an was dumbfounded. He had read the story of Snow White and Cinderella before, and of course he had read more than just the beginning. How come he couldn't remember it all?
Although the story in this picture book shares some of the same elements as the original work, it also adds the author's own imaginary elements, which adds a layer of tension and pressure to the story.
Chu Chengan fell back on the bed, lamenting that he only had seven seconds of fish memory, and that he was even worse than a fish...
Lu Zhenqiu turned on his computer and said, "Let's quickly find the original versions of these stories. We need to read all of them."
Chu Cheng'an looked at him and said, "The original version? I've read the original version, just ask me..." He didn't tell Lu Zhenqiu that he loved reading fairy tales when he was a child, for fear that Lu Zhenqiu would laugh at him.
“…”
Lu Zhenqiu began to doubt Chu Chengan's ability to retell. He thought of another question and asked, "Is the author of this horror fairy tale series a foreigner?"
Chu Chengan said no, he did have an impression of it and knew it when he bought it.
He said: "He is a Chinese, and his name, as I remember, seems to be... Wen Di?"
“…Is he Chinese or a foreigner?”
"Chinese!" Chu Cheng'an heard that Lu Zhenqiu was questioning his IQ, and he wanted to defend his IQ to the end!
After some debate, Lu Zhenqiu finally believed it.
He quickly searched for information about the author online and found out that this author named Wen Di, who specialized in writing horror stories, had died a year ago. There was very little information about him online, and the entire big data search turned up no more than one page of information. Even his death was an unsolved mystery. It was said that he had choked to death while eating?
It's not like a moron can eat himself to death? Is the author trying to unlock a new death achievement?
There is no pirated version of this work that he wrote anywhere on the Internet.
Lu Zhenqiu gave up wasting time on the Internet. He opened the comic book and started reading one story after another. He found that there were not only fairy tales from foreign countries in the West, but also fairy tales from China, Japan, and some countries that rarely appear in geographical knowledge.
This really opened his eyes...
If they were to go through all these stories, they would be terribly exhausted, and some of these stories simply gave him a tingling sensation...
Chu Chengan's phone vibrated at this time, and he took out his smartphone from his trouser pocket.
Lu Zhenqiu's gaze shifted to him.
He asked suspiciously: "Someone sent you a message?"
"I don't know..."
Chu Chengan was also puzzled. He opened the VX and saw that it was indeed the VX message he had sent to his classmate before. The classmate actually replied to him? He really couldn't tell whether he was surprised or frightened...
Lu Zhenqiu looked at his expression and asked, "Is there really any news?"
"Yes, it's my good classmate Wang Anyuan. I always ask him to save a seat for me in the classroom, so we have a very good relationship.
"..." What Lu Zhenqiu was thinking about was, Wang Anyuan? He was his classmate from elementary school to high school, but he had never heard of this name. It seemed that he was a new friend that Chu Chengan made after entering university.
Chu Chengan didn't notice Lu Zhenqiu's emotions. He continued, "We sent messages to other people, but they didn't reply. Even our phone calls were always unreachable. Does this mean that Wang Anyuan, that unlucky guy, has also entered this game?"
Isn't this obvious?
Lu Zhenqiu said: "Make a video call to him now."
"That's right, Lu Zhenqiu, you are really smart. It would be terrible if it wasn't Wang Anyuan himself, but some demon pretending to be him and sending us a message."
The video call was quickly connected, and Wang Anyuan's anxious face appeared on the other end.
"My king, what's wrong with you?" It was Chu Cheng'an who asked him.
Among his classmates, everyone called him Da Wang because he was one year older than his peers and had repeated a year in high school. Although his grades were average, he was a very nice person.
"Chu Cheng'an, you finally replied to my message. I was so anxious!" Wang Anyuan was so anxious that his face was almost stuck to the screen.
"Um, I was so focused on reading the fairy tale that I just noticed my phone was vibrating..."
Actually, that’s not the case. The phone didn’t vibrate at first. During the few times when it vibrated badly, they were still in the dungeon game. It’s not Chu Chengan’s fault.
After coming out of the game, Chu Chengan felt that his cell phone was a piece of scrap metal to him (except for Baidu, which he couldn't remember, which was still usable). There was no one in it that he could contact, except...
Wang Anyuan was worried: "Fairy tales? You're not telling me, are you? I'm telling you, I've arrived at a strange place. How should I put it? It's not strange at all. The place is still the same place as before, and it's still my dormitory. It's just... I found that there's no one in the whole school. I can't contact anyone even if I want to. You're the only one who responded to my VX messages. Tell me, are we involved in some supernatural incident?"
Really? You discovered this.
Chu Cheng'an turned the screen towards Lu Zhenqiu, allowing his good classmate to get to know his teammates, and then quickly turned it back.
"It's not just the two of us. I have another teammate here. Big King, please come over quickly so we can discuss this together. I'll send you an address on WeChat and you should hurry over to our place."
Chu Chengan immediately cut off the video and entered his home address in detail into the VX chat box with Wang Anyuan.
After waiting for a while, Wang Anyuan actually called me via video again.
"Why haven't you set off yet? You're so hesitant." Chu Cheng'an said.
"No, Chu Chengan, it's too weird outside, I'm scared..."
Chu Chengan yelled at him, "Why didn't I realize you were so big before? Why would you be scared? I'll tell you the truth, hurry up and gather yourself here. The world you're going to later will really scare you to death. If you don't come, I won't be able to find you in the game later, and I won't be able to protect you anymore."
"Ah? Wait, Chu Chengan, don't hang up yet..."
Chu Chengan hung up the phone anyway.
Then he put on a coat that was on the bed.
Before they knew it, it was already dark outside. They spent most of the day looking up information and reading fairy tales.
The atmosphere became more tense as it got dark.
"Where are you going?" Lu Zhenqiu asked him.
"I'm going to the school. I think Da Wang was frightened when he first came here. He hasn't recovered yet and doesn't dare to come out. It's better for me to pick him up."
Lu Zhenqiu was not very happy: "We are about to enter the game. I just felt a little dizzy. This is the signal that I will soon cross into the game. How can you go out at this time?"
“But…but?”
"You are not allowed to go. Haven't you sent the detailed address to your friend? Just wait for him to come."
"..." Chu Cheng'an wondered, Lu Zhenqiu was a bit overbearing...
Is he worried about him? Why didn't he know that Lu Zhenqiu had this intention before?
Although he appreciated the other person's kindness, he still felt uneasy leaving Wang Anyuan alone. After all, he was still his good classmate. If the other person was so worried, he would still ignore him? Is this acceptable?
Chu Chengan ignored Lu Zhenqiu and opened the door and went out.
Lu Zhenqiu was so angry that he didn't want to talk. He just looked at the "strategy guide" in his hand...
Then, five minutes passed, and suddenly I felt a flash before my eyes, and the world turned upside down. All of a sudden, all the remaining players in this world were teleported to another world.
…
Have you heard of the story of Sleeping Beauty? It is the most famous of Grimm's fairy tales.
The king and queen had been childless for many years, and they prayed to many gods and fairies, even the black witch Marin, who was not on the side of justice. They also sent gifts and prayed.
Finally, after many years, the queen became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. She was named Princess Ailuo, and she was also their only child.
The whole country celebrated, and the palace held a ball that lasted more than a month, inviting nobles and commoners to celebrate together.
The king and queen invited not only humans, but also fairies, elves and dwarves. They invited everyone they could, except for the black witch Marin who they had prayed for.
On the last day of the ball, the black witch Marin came uninvited and cursed the little princess Aurora viciously in front of all the guests.
It is said that Princess Aurora will be stabbed to death by the needle on a sewing machine on her sixteenth birthday.
Then she walked away laughing evilly.
The people were instantly thrown into panic, and the king and queen were at a loss as to what to do.
Before that, they were clearly listening to the fairies' blessings to Princess Aurora...
The only fairy who had not yet sent out her blessing said, "Don't worry, King and Queen. I haven't sent out my blessing yet. Although my magic power is not as strong as the black witch's, I can slightly reduce the curse she sent out. I bless Princess Aurora not to be stabbed to death by the needle on the sewing machine on her sixteenth birthday. She will only fall into a deep sleep..."
Despite this, the king was still very worried and ordered all sewing machines in his territory to be burned.
But she still couldn't resist the power of the evil witch. On her sixteenth birthday, Princess Aurora was still harmed by the black witch and fell into a coma and could never wake up again.
…
As we all know, in this story, the prince only appears at the end and has only a small role...
The unlucky Chu Chengan got the prince's ID card.
When he woke up, he looked at his gorgeous clothes and the magnificent palace, and thought: I am a prince again, the system really has good taste.
Then I went out to ask around, what? His name is Prince Philip? Is this the fairy tale world of Sleeping Beauty?
Everything had already happened before the prince even made his debut. How could he play this game? Should he just go over and make a grand exit?
